Mate, you are reading this all wrong - its NOT my kits is better than yours issue, its NOT an hierarchical issue, its NOT a jealousy issue... Pretending it is, is to avoid the point.

Its a simple issue of being purposefully dishonest to feed ones own ego.

Think of it like this: If we were both watching a tribute band, belting the same tunes as the real band, and I told your buddy, that the band was the REAL deal, would you not feel I was duping your mate? How would you view me if I did that, and we both KNEW that the band wasn't the real thing?

Simplez... If it aint one of the 998 from the 1960s, best get real, and not leave anyone with the impression that it is, lest you wish to be a "ban-me-for-swearing"...

Does Shelby's snake oil hold no bounds?
